hello my bebe just shed recently for the first time in my care, he only got half out and left it there, i bathed and removed the rest of the skin and while not all that happy,seems to be now.i noticed some tiny pieces around his bum about an inch from the tail of leftover skin, this morning i attempted to take the last few pieces with tweezers but i believe there to be a couple of millimetre shreds still embedded right around the sphincter,it seems to be stuck fast and i dont want to cause distress or damage to him but would hate it to get infected, should i leave him be,hasnt shown ny signs of stress yet.thanks alot

I agree try the damp towel- if that doesn't work leave them a little while to see if they become more loose. Keep checking him regulary though.
